JOHNA.L LOGAN.

The death of Gen. Logan on last
Sunday, takes from the United
States Senate one Of the ablest
statesmen of the cou1kry.
To say that be held a high and
honorable position in the estima
ton of the World goes without
saying.
Mr.. Logan is, and no ooubt just
" considered the ablest general Of
the Union army, among the Volun
teer troops.
He was an able, efficient and elo
quent orator.
Senator Logan was the beau
ideal of a statesman. No lantern
was required to find him. He stood
out boldly and squarely in front
of his enemies aud gave and receiv
ed blows only in front.
What he believed, that he adyo
Gated ; what he advocated that be

practiced no hypocrisy, but expires.

could not be misconstrued, that

He was III high life for 40 years,
but died a poor mana sufficient

his political views generally, yet
we always felt that he was sincere
and honest in the positions be main

4 short while ago, q cargo Of
rice came into New Orleans from
Europe.
This rice cost 2.57 cents at Bre
men, ranked below the No. 2 Louis
lana rice which sold at that date
for 2.12 cents. The duty, commits
s%ioners, aud other expenses of the
foreign article raised its value
to about tise cents. There was
not much money in that venture.
Rice is practically to-day, at a
price that renders its importation
impossible. The present rate Of
duty is prohibitory so far as that
| cereal is concerned.
| An article such as Louisiana No.
l Rice, can not be imported and
sold at present prices without loss
to the shippers.
There are some doubts also wheth
or it IA be grown at Il profit here
at present prices.

It is not likely that Congress
will do anything in the way of rev
ehue reform the present session.
That will be left to make things
lively in the next Congress, land
then. there will be such a raking
and shaking of dry bones as has new
er been witnessed in this country.
When tho fence is once let down
and action on the tariff il common
ced there will be such \ mixing of
parties that no one will know where
he belongs.
The Republicans now stand uni
ted in preventing any action upon
the tariff or ony other subject for
deviltry, but when the work be
comes serious the members of that
party will be split up equally as bad
or worse than the Democracy, and
the way the fazz will fly when they
begin to pull wool over sugar will
sstenish the natives.
The tariff must be reformed soon,

A Picnic

One of the most successful and enjoys
able picnics of the season was held at
the watch tower last evening. Mrs. Col.
Burgh and Mrs. J. s. Gilmore were the
originators of the happy affair, and they
received hearty cooperation from about
dozen other ladies' Fifty people sat
down to the elaborate supper which was
spread upon the summit of the tower.
Many of the ricnicers enjoyed themselves
by going down on the spring cove coast.
er, which proved to be rare sport. The
boat-a common scow, with flanges un-
derneath to keep it on the track-slides
down the incline with great rapidity and
into the water with great splash
that sends the spray in every direc
ton. A man stands out ia the
water waist deep. and lows the boat back
to shore. The ascent is quite tiresome,
but Mr.. Newberger intends TO obviate
this by putting down another track on
which to pull the passengers up. There
is dance pavilion at one side of the
slide.
Mr.. Bailey Davenport accommodated
the picnicers by holding the car until
eight o'clock, which was much appreci-
ated, aud would be by every one who
visits the tower this warm weather. just
as the Car got fairly started for home it
jumped the track at the road crossing, but
beyond giving the passengers good
shaking up, no damage was done. The
picnic was grand success in every way,
and the ladies in charge are deserving OF
praise for their excellent management.

The Councils Appropriation to sus-

portant Oversight---The Outcome
Unless Remedied.
The council. in it's annual appropria-
lions last evening. practiced economy
in one appropriation which means any
thing but economy in the long run. Iu>
stead of allowing the public library
$1,000, as is customary the figures were
placed at $4,000 This is too small an
allowance-mueh too small for one Of
the most important institutions under
the charge of the city government. BY
able and economical management the
library managed to save little of its sp-
preparation last year, but it required the
denial of some of the library's actual
necessities to do that. The So, 500 pro-
vision will scarcely run the library for a
year, to say nothing of replenishing the
supply of books-rebinding the old ones
and adding new ones when necessary
All these little expenditures are necessa
ry if public library is to be main
tanned.
Rock Island has witnessed within the
| past year the lamentable results of stint
ing tie running expenses of so import
ant an institution, in the embarrassment
the Moline library has undergone. Tn
